Box On Demand Compack EVO 2.5 SBS

Right-size boxes made on demand eliminate excess shipping charges, reduce void fill, and increase the number of shipments per truck.

The flexible technology of the Box on Demand Compack series provides the largest range of corrugated fanfold sizes and types in a single machine; increasing throughput capabilities while allowing for maximum packaging customization by reducing packing and shipping cost. Compack machines can be set up as an inline feed (with up to six automatic, raw material sources feeding into the machine), as a lateral (side-by-side) feed with up to four automatic corrugated feeds. Several footprint sizes allow flexibility to meet space configuration needs.
